So I'm looking to put all my EPUB files (currently managed on Calibre) on my Kindle. To do this, I plan to convert them to KFX, then use the WordDumb plugin to enable Word Wise.

I have a really large collection (+150 books), all accumulated over time. I've been updating the metadata for each book manually, but I'd like to modernize my files as well. I vaguely remember a feature in Calibre to do all this automatically (update the cover, clean up/delete old unused conversion files, etc) but can't find it. Any advice?

Once that's done, I'm going to use KFX Output to convert the book (I left all the settings at default, I don't know if I should change anything?), then WordDumb (already configured in my language). I don't know if I'm supposed to use Kindle collections (I've never looked into that).
I'm open to any comments or avenues for improvement on my workflow!
